This podcast is about three things: minimalism, solitude, and introversion. They are important aspects of my character—and likely of the character of many people you know. "sparse optimal" delves into all of them, dispels myths, talks about new ideas, shows how they are related █ Wayne is a writer and editor. He's published a couple of novels, The Killing Type (a modern mystery parody) and Will's Dead Wife (a story of loss), as well as a book about personal minimalism called Less. He is currently working on a biography of English writer Samuel Johnson █ Wayne's a freelance editor as well. Two of his other passions are movies and stand-up comedy (watching not performing!) █ Contact me any time with questions about the podcast, suggestions for upcoming episodes, and comments on current ones █ email me | phone or text = 613-884-8953 | leave voicemail | leave a rating or review on Apple Podcasts █ intro and outro music: "clean technology" by Coma-Media (Yrii Semchyshyn, Kolomyia, Ukraine) via Pixabay
